"Roderick was an amazing designer to work with. He took real interest in the design brief for my front cover, as well as taking time to understand the style and genre of my novel. He was clear on the concept he thought would work best, and did a brilliant job bringing it to life. He kept me informed at every stage and was totally receptive to my ideas once he'd shared the initial design. I'm so pleased with the finished cover! Roderick also provided me all the files I required for onward publishing and checked I was happy with everything. His communication was clear, concise and on time. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again."

"Roderick did incredible work and delivered it on time. He was also patient with my questions, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend his services."

"Second collab. with Roderick. Highly recommend. easy to work with and very fast responses to any issues. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

"Roderick created a wonderful cover. His picture of my heroine is so lovely that, however odd it must seem, I now feel I understand her more than ever. it is only a slight exaggeration to say that he has made her come alive. He has also been incredibly patient about my changes in ISBN numbers and even my change in title. It was a real stroke of luck to come across Roderick."

"Roderick delivered a cover beyond what I hoped for. He was professional, communicative, prompt, and took my evolving art direction exceptionally well. He's got an excellent eye for design in addition to his skills as an illustrator. Coming from an art/illustration background myself, it was vital for me that my cover have that hand-drawn look and feel, while also ensuring cohesion. His contribution to elements like color palette and font was invaluable. Overall, he took my ideas and made them better, which is all anyone can ask when conveying a complicated story visually. His work is of the highest quality, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I hope to work together again and would recommend his services to anyone."

"Roderick did such a fantastic job on the cover of my novel. He nailed what I was wanting as a design and responded to tweaks with a very quick turn around. Definitely would collaborate with him again in the future. Excellent work."

"Roderick has, and continues to, do a fantastic job. We collaborated on the visuals, and he developed some great concepts, eventually settling on one. He is very responsive and super helpful and has made this process - my first - very easy. Totally recommend."

"Roderick Brydon is a consummate professional! A paragon of design! Though his portfolio and work experience and responsiveness speak for themselves, I will share a bit more! Roderick’s communication is platinum level in terms of effectiveness! He read my design brief on my book cover idea for my novel WHISTLE PUNK FALLS and before the deadline, he produced a design that exceeded what I’d envisioned. His cover design perfectly encapsulates the work’s vibe; not only does it scream “Read Me”, it’s also a work of art, layering the work’s motifs in a memorably visual way. But not only that, Roderick did a FANTASTIC job with the book’s interior. Again, he created the interior with the expertise of an artist and all ahead of schedule. After I read the e-proof, I was mortified to find I had about 60 corrections/edits. I sent them over to Roderick and he happily applied them. My novel now has a face and a body that’s to Roderick’s work! He’s worth every penny! Go with Roderick for your next project and you won’t be disappointed! I hope to work with him again down the line."

"Roderick created an amazing cover for my book and made the process very easy."

"His work was perfect. It really set my book apart from the hundreds of others I've seen."

"I had him help me work on the typography, style, spine, and back of my book. I am beyond impressed by his punctuality, communication, and the fact that he was able to give a few options during the process to help guide. It was a pleasure to work with him."

"It's been a joy working with Roderick and I look forward to many more collaborations."

"Roderick was a fantastic book cover designer to work with! After I saw his portfolio, I thought he would be a good match for my short thriller story. At first, I was worried that nobody would accept a design job for my 8-page ebook. But Roderick responded with great interest, and we worked on a budget that worked for both of us! I’m so glad I hired Roderick!"

"I approached Roderick with an unconventional story and he responded with a perfectly unconventional cover. Not only did he provide something unexpected and eye catching, he also banged it out a month faster than the initial timeline. I cannot recommend his work enough and I'm eager to share it with the world."

"Working with Roderick was a great experience! He really 'got' the sample I sent and returned a design that captured the vibe beautifully. He was always super friendly and responded right away to any updates. Go ahead and book with him!"

"Roderick's creativity and responsiveness were better than I could have imagined possible. He created an amazing cover with only a few details and handled our revisions effectively. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a designer for their book. I hope I get the chance to work with him again."

"Very professional, and an exceptionally quick turnaround of just under one week! Roderick was a delight to work with, He did the cover for my novel 'Sugar Cube', and produced a first rate product to an exceptional standard very quickly indeed. He produced a lovely piece of artwork which was exactly what I needed to sell my book. I would definitely use him again for my next novel if he's available! I think he's based in England and I was in Florida, but he was very responsive indeed to my queries and fit in completely with my timescale. Highly recommended."

"Roderick was amazing to work with! He was very quick to respond, handled the many changes I proposed, and took into account my ideas for how I wanted the final version of my book cover to look. Having an illustrator so willing to make alterations made for a product that fitted what I hoped for. I recommend working with him. His style works very well for fonts and lines to create unique covers."

"Roderick has been a pleasure to work with. He is very responsive and a great collaborator. I would recommend him to anyone looking to hire a designer."

"Roderick has done a great job and I will continue to use his services."

"After seeing his portfolio, I jumped at the chance to work with Roderick. I'm glad I did. I had only a vague idea of what I wanted, and Roderick took my suggestions and feedback and turned them into an eye-catching book cover that begs to be opened. I couldn't be happier. Can't wait to work with him again."

"Roderick was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was highly professional, and communicated quickly and efficiently. The covers and mockups he made for my upcoming book are stunning, and I couldn't have found a better cover artist! 20/10 recommend him!"

"It has been an absolute pleasure working with Roderick. His design for the cover of my debut novel was beyond what I could have imagined myself for the cover. He is a kind person and quick to respond to any questions or suggestions that you may have. His attention to detail is wonderful and artistic ability is incredible. I look forward to many more collaborations with Roderick! Thank you, my friend!"

"Here's a professional you can trust. Roderick knows how to listen, he carefully reviews requirements, and he knows how to push back with grace when he feels strongly about creative direction."

"Roderick has a real genius for design. I was tremendously impressed with his work on my own book, and didn't hesitate to recommend him to design the cover for "Score", the 20th anthology of the Hong Kong Writers Circle. He came back in no time with an attractive cover that fitted the theme perfectly, full of playful elements and an irresistible balance. I will continue recommending Roderick to anyone who wants a cover worthy of the book they've written."

"I had been looking for a responsive cover designer for our micropress. Roderick fit the bill from day one. His designs are unique and custom and well suited to the genre, and he is personable, accessible, and nice to work with. We plan to use his services for all our future titles. He is a gem in a crowded design marketplace."

"It’s a moment many authors hope for: to receive a draft book cover back from a designer that’s so beautiful it brings a tear to their eye. Working with Roderick — whose work I found via Reddit — I had my moment. With the information I provided, he made magic happen. I’m grateful for his efficiency, responsiveness, creativity, and warmth. Roderick took my novel and gave it the perfect casing."

"Do yourself a favour. Stop trawling the web right now and get Roderick to design your book cover. You won’t regret it. He has designed two covers for me, both of which perfectly matched the brief while adding his own unique flair. He was also a joy to work with, being incredibly fast, professional, and accommodating to my proposed alterations (even the ones I was wrong about!). I’ll be working with Roderick for all of my future covers and I can’t recommend him highly enough."

"I found Roderick by complete chance in a google search. His covers caught my eye immediately - I love the painted look. I'd been trying to create a cover for my debut novel for a few weeks at that point, but my design skills weren't up to the task. I gave him an extremely bare-bones doodle of questionable quality and told him I was thinking of an 80s horror poster vibe. I also gave him a brief synopsis, just in case that would help. What he sent back was nothing short of incredible - it was like he peered into my mind and saw exactly what I was trying for in my attempt. He was very communicative, touching base weekly, and finished the cover way faster than I thought possible. I absolutely love what he created and whenever I am able to, I will always come to him for cover art. His style is distinct, eye-popping, and it fits the mood for the story so well. I show it to everyone that will look!"

"Roderick is a master of visual storytelling, and his cover designs are nothing short of stunning. I had the pleasure of working with him on a recent short story collection, and his ability to capture the essence of the overall theme in a single image is remarkable. From the very beginning, Roderick was collaborative and deeply attentive to the emotions I wanted the cover to convey. He took time to understand the intricacies of the narrative and delivered a design that exceeded my expectations. What sets Roderick apart is not only his artistic talent but his incredible attention to detail. His use of color, texture, and symbolism brought the cover to life in a way that truly resonated with the tone of the collection. The finished design is not only eye-catching but also deeply meaningful, perfectly reflecting the heart of the story."

"I take pride in designing my book covers. I sent Roderick the art for my third novel. He said it was good but let me make it even better. Roderick took my concept down to the studs and sent me back a finished product that easily registered as an “11” on the awesome dial."

"Collaborating with Roderick is the ideal kind of partnership. His professionalism and tenacity shine throughout the creative process--and I'm extremely happy with the end result. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Roderick again."

"Roderick has a real talent for illustrating and designing eye-catching covers. Unlike so many designers today, he doesn't settle for generic stock designs but actually creates something new and original. He's also astoundingly fast with turnaround time, without sacrificing quality. We've been really impressed with the five covers he has done for us so far and look forward to working with him on others in the future."

"After trawling the web for an artist whose covers had the professional and creative flair I was looking for, I finally found KLR Covers and was blown away by the quality of work delivered in such a short time and for such a reasonable price. He was extremely accommodating in bringing my original vision for the cover to life and in making adjustments across versions until the piece was perfect. I can't recommend his services enough."

"I had an amazing experience working with Roderick. He transformed my amateur ideas for my book cover into a stunning piece of art! His response time was quick, and the project turnaround was impressive. If you’re considering working with him, this is your sign to go for it—you won’t regret it! "

"Roderick is an absolutely brilliant artist to work with – and full of such clever, creative, impactful cover ideas. He offers advice where needed and adds in his own incredible touches, too. It's the perfect combo of listening to the brief but taking it to a different level with his input. Highly, highly recommended!"

"I’m the proverbial client from hell: a former adman with exacting standards and an obsession about getting every tiny detail just right. Working with me is a truly tough test demanding total commitment to the job at hand. Roderick passed this test with flying colours, continuing to work on our project even while struck by coronavirus. His talent, dedication, and flexibility are second to none, and I cannot recommend him highly enough."

"I trusted in Roderick's expertise, and couldn't have been more satisfied. He immediately grasped the vibe I was going for, and delivered a cover that I am incredibly excited to showcase with my collection of short stories. I simply cannot express how delightful the entire process was, and cannot wait to utilize Roderick's unprecedented talent again in the future."

"I was absolutely blown away by the work I received on the cover for my upcoming book. Multiple versions were so good it felt like choosing between my children. Such creative ideas with so little guidance. I'll be a return customer for sure."

"I've had a positive experience with Roderick and have even asked him to create 2 more covers for me, since the first one was so good... and we're still going! Very professional, patient, and talented. Highly recommend!"

"Big thanks again for the amazing cover art for The Incident on Melancholy Lane! It was worth every penny and I absolutely love it. Working with you was both easy and a pleasure and I'd love to do it again sometime! Have a Happy Holiday!"

"Roderick created an excellent cover for my book. He was recommended by a dear friend of mine, and his work certainly exceeded expectations. We worked together amicably on the book design, and he ventured great suggestions that enhanced the quality of the already sophisticated design. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs excellent book design at reasonable cost."

"Just had a cover for an upcoming book designed by them. Loved it. Was sent 5 options at the start, all good, 2 were near perfect from the word go. The creative ways they matched thematically with the book was spot on. Revisions were responsive and attentive to detail. The final product was better than I could have imagined. 10/10"

"Insanely amazing work!! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and exceeded expectations on communication overall!! Thank you again!"

"Excellent work and money well spent. I like to believe I am not a micromanager, but I sort of am. Roderick was patient and communicative with me. These are big things with me considering how flaky artists are (writers included). Once we learned each other's rhythms, the dude had a finished product for me in less than five days. Considering we never worked together before, I was impressed. I'm sure the next go around will be even quicker. Will 100% work with again and refer."

"Good Tidings Roderick Brydon / hails from Bristol / comes packing pistols / the rovers, they need the luck of a 4 leaf clover / artistry that's enlightening / horror drawings frightening / turn around time fast like lightning / whatever you choose / you cannot lose / forget the rest / he's simply the best / will satisfy your literary request / time to step up / get another deal set up."

"Roderick Brydon created and designed the book cover for my latest, The Raven Pendant. Working solely from a photograph, he went through several iterations of the cover until he came up with his own, perfect design — I have had unanimous approval so far — it follows the story line, stands out, and scales well to a thumbnail. The paperback cover uploaded perfectly the first time to KDP; no adjustments were required.

I will be working with him again, and I cannot recommend his services strongly enough."

"As a first-time novelist, I was pleased by how KLR Covers guided me through the creative process of developing the cover art for my Sci-Fi manuscript. Going from my vague description and a rough sketch of my ideas, Roderick created an outstanding work of art with a remarkably short turnaround. I could not be happier with the end product, but even more importantly, I was impressed with Roderick's professionalism and flexibility. Highly recommended."

"Just had my cover done and it was an exclusively positive experience. Great artist who makes the process convenient, respectful, professional, understanding, and accommodating. He even went ahead and made two more rough draft covers for me on top of the 5 he initially provides. I can only recommend him to others."

"Roderick absolutely knocked it out of the park. He was responsive, cordial, and helpful throughout our interactions, and he turned around the commission far faster than I had anticipated. On top of that, his finished product perfectly captured what I had envisioned. If you need a cover for your book, look no further."

"Roderick created my book cover and all the illustrations for the book. I'm delighted with the work quality and efficiency. It really was such an easy process. Thanks for all your help. Highly recommend."

"Extremely happy with Roderick’s book cover design. He was recommended by a friend, and fully justified his reputation. He created a selection of great covers that matched the book’s spirit, responded rapidly to finesse the details of the final choice, and was patient with a preoccupied client. Will be reaching out to him again and recommending his work to anyone looking for a cracking book cover or other designs."
